Kandy hostel reviews
32Excellent experience and very lovely owner who kindly helped us visit some places we wanted to go to!
I want to give 4 or 5 stars, but there were several things I didn't like about the hostel that should be fixed asap. The bed sheets are terrible, they don't stay on the mattress. The bathrooms are very basic and if they spent just a few rupees they could be so much better. The clothes drying area is ok but there's a mess around it. The common area is nice but zero shade. There's another level which has shade but is a mess. Most people seemed to love the free dinner which is a cool idea, but it wasn't for me. The staff are great, very friendly. Breakfast is simple but worked for me (bread and an egg). Location not the best but a 20 min walk into town. Overall, a nice hostel that needs just a little TLC to make it a 4 or 5 star review.
Delicious free dinner every night (with cooking class.) Pool chairs should be replaced. Very friendly staff
Very good place, good rooms, good coocking clases, good atmosfere, everything perfect¡ thanks guys
Good value for money, cool cooking class INCLUDED with a very tasty homemead dinner, which makes up for rather simple breakfast. Overall great for the price
This hostel is roughhhhh. Other than the really kind staff, the hostel is not nice at all. We stayed in a room with two bunks and it was super cramped. Everything smelled super musty, all the bedding was really stained, and the sheet was more like a cloth just thrown on top of the mostly exposed mattress. Mold on the ceilings. Everything is poorly maintained. Bathrooms were not great either. It’s worth spending a couple bucks more to stay in a nicer place.
This place was amazing! The owners are super friendly helpful and relaxed. There is a communal dinner every night and they give you a cooking lesson all included! This was the best Sri-Lankan meal I have had so far. Absolutely amazing value for money and even better vibes. This place is a must. It has a pool, a top roof area to chill and it is clean. Big love for this place ️️️
For a hostel it offers a lot and generally is a great experience. Evening cooking class is a great experience and is a good way to break the ice with the rest of the backpackers. Very kind staff, would recommend
Absolutely fantastic hostel. The staff really will do anything to make your stay perfect. Gorgeous pool, lovely views and comfortable beds. They include a cookery course every night and breakfast in the morning for no extra charge! Everyone eats their food together and enjoys the lovely view over Kandy.
One of the worst hostels I've ever been to and I've been to a lot. Overpriced, dirty, no atmosphere, got food poisoning in their restaurant.
Private room is next to the reception which means it's loud and there was light on in the reception until very late at night - with the poorly covered glass doors leading to our room. Old and loud AC, bathroom you don't want to use. Employees keep insisting we eat there all the time.
Very bad experience!
Not sure if its worth for the amount we paid. Dorms are pretty packed. Meals arent great.general cleanliness and maintenance inadequate. Washrooms are better though. The staff is nice and helpful.
Didn't really stay here but lived close. Noisy and has caused trouble to neighbours with rude people hanging about. Has had the police called over several times in the past.
